ANCIENT SPACE WRECK MOVIE

Birsin interprets the traditional and current states of landscape painting in search of a balance while focusing on revealing the emotions hidden in the deepest part of the human soul through the undefined spaces that form the focal point of his paintings. Gurur Birsin's first solo exhibition, “ Wreck of Time,” can be viewed between September 10 and October 23 at Mixer's main gallery.īorn in 1992 in Tekirdağ, Gurur Birsin completed his undergraduate and graduate studies at the Painting Department of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University.

The technical possibilities provided by engraving and the meticulous working practice it requires show their effects with the limited color palette and sharp structural solutions in Gurur Birsin's exhibited works. The effect of engraving, which the artist also focuses on in his academic works, is evident in all his works. However, Birsin offers hope for the future with serenity and light, treating them with technical details equal to the uneasy atmosphere created by obscurity and destruction in the paintings.Īnother technically striking element in both the works and designs of Gurur Birsin is the proximity to engraving. At the center of Gurur Birsin’s paintings are the social and political atmosphere that today's people are exposed to, the common negative emotions caused by the wrongful practices of authorities over individuals and cities, and the subsequent unknown end. The pessimistic tones, ruins, debris and derelict structures that stand out in the paintings express the projection of human perception and mood rather than the description of an event.

Each painting can be viewed as parts of a movie with no specific narrative outside the ordinary. In images whose time and place cannot be defined, we occasionally encounter objects and people.

Even though the paintings are independent of each other, the overall impression of the exhibition is reminiscent of a post-disaster scenario. In addition to the technical details of the artist's works in the exhibition, abandoned spaces, perceived as pessimistic at first glance, stand out. “ The Wreck of Time” brings together the peinture works that make up a large part of Gurur Birsin’s artistic practice, as well as his drawings and an engraving work. Mixer is pleased to present Gurur Birsin's first solo exhibition, “The Wreck of Time.” The exhibition can be viewed at Mixer's main gallery space between September 10 and October 23.
